STOCKTON, Calif. – Police are investigating an armed robbery at an ARCO gas station involving a suspect who may be in the sixth grade, according to KTXL.

Customers and staff of the station on West Benjamin Holt Drive in Stockton, California say the robbery was surprising. Even more surprising, they say, is the suspect's age -- police estimate he's roughly 11 years old.

"It's just very sad to see someone this young try to do something like this," station employee James Ratto said.

It was Ratto's coworker who had a gun pointed at her face by the child.
